Remotely controlling a PTZ camera connected to a Zoom Room

API and Webhooks Zoom Rooms

Hi,

I need some help to find a way for me to remotely control the PTZ camera connected to a Zoom Room.

I have a Webex SDK-based video platform that I am trying to integrate with a Zoom Room. The Zoom Room has a PTZ camera connected to it which I believe is a Logitech PTZ Pro 2.

I’m able to connect to the Zoom Room by creating a Zoom Meeting and having the Zoom Room join it. I then have my video platform call into the Zoom Meeting via SIP. This is a little messy, but works really well and I can interact with the Zoom Room participant at the far end.

My next hurdle is to find a way for me to remotely control the PTZ camera connected to the Zoom Room.

I’ve looked at the ZR-CSAPI, CRC and Zoom Room APIs, and I’m not able to find anything that I might use. Am I missing something?

I can’t use the Video SDK, because I’m not a video SDK client. I’d like to be able to use the Zoom Room APIs to try and do this. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

hi @Sachin7 ,

Welcome to the community.
Can you access the Zoom app marketplace with your setup?
If so, you could develop a marketplace app that controls PTZ. I already have a project doing the same, but on standard Zoom. Not Zoom Rooms.
I apologise, but I don’t have access to the Zoom room devices.
All the best

Hi John,

I hadn’t considered a marketplace app that controls PTZ. I’ll look into that. Thanks for the idea!
